What to Expect in Treatment

I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Treatment is focused, structured, and active, meaning that once we've identified the problems you want to work on, we plan each session and actively work towards making progress in that area. Using weekly assessments, we monitor progress regularly to see if treatment is working, with the eventual goal of ending treatment once we've accomplished your goals. We have more control over the present than we do about the past, so if there are problems bothering you from the past, we focus on how they are bothering you in the right now. Treatment is always collaborative, working together towards change. These methods, combined with the use of evidence-based treatment, produce effective results.
